An irresistible sweet dish made from gram flour and
semolina, flavoured with cardamom powder and enriched with nuts to keep your
energy levels high. Many halwas are made as an evening snack which leads to a
‘glass of milk for dinner’ or no dinner at all. Whenever there is a special
occasion in my family like a festival, a birthday or anniversary or a pleasant
rainy day, my mother treats us to some delicious besan or sooji halwa. The
regular gajar, besan, atta or sooji halwa is in the past. Try this mixed
ingredients recipe of besan and sooji halwa made it with a lot of desi ghee,
flavoured with cardamom and dry fruits add a nice crunch to the otherwise melt
in mouth halwa. It came out delicious. Prepared this on the first day of
Navratri to offer as naivedya. So here is the step-by-step picture recipe of
